LABORATORY NO. 5
DICTIONARY
NAME: __________________________________________________ SCORE: __________________
C/Y/S: ___________________________________________________ DATE: __________________

I. Objective: To develop simple programs using dictionary.


II. Software: Python 2.7.14
III. Discussion/Procedures
A dictionary is a collection which is unordered, changeable and indexed. In Python
dictionaries are written with curly brackets, and they have keys and values.

thisdict = {
"brand": "Ford",
"model": "Mustang",
"year": 1964,
"color": "red",
"capacity": "5 seater"
}
print(thisdict)
OUTPUT:

You can access the items of a dictionary by referring to its key name:
Get the value of the "model" key:
x = thisdict["model"]
There is also a method called get() that will give you the same result:
Get the value of the "model" key:
x = thisdict.get("model")

From the above dictionary and given sample output, write your code using the method get().

1
To change the "year" to 2018:
thisdict["year"] = 2018

Loop Through a Dictionary


You can loop through a dictionary by using a for loop.
When looping through a dictionary, the return value are the keys of the dictionary, but there are
methods to return the values as well.

Print all key names in the dictionary, one by one:


for x in thisdict:
print(x)
Print all values in the dictionary, one by one:
for x in thisdict:
print(thisdict[x])

You can also use the values() function to return values of a dictionary:
for x in thisdict.values():
print(x)
Loop through both keys and values, by using the items() function:
for x, y in thisdict.items():
print(x, y)

Check if Key Exists


To determine if a specified key is present in a dictionary use the in keyword:
Check if "model" is present in the dictionary:

thisdict = {
"brand": "Ford",
"model": "Mustang",
"year": 1964
}
if "model" in thisdict:
print("Yes, 'model' is one of the keys in the thisdict dictionary")

Dictionary Length

To determine how many items (key-value pairs) a dictionary have, use the len() method.
Print the number of items in the dictionary:
print(len(thisdict))

Adding Items
Adding an item to the dictionary is done by using a new index key and assigning a value to it:
thisdict = {
"brand": "Ford",
"model": "Mustang",
"year": 1964
}
2
thisdict["rim size"] = 14
print(thisdict)

Removing Items

There are several methods to remove items from a dictionary:


The pop() method removes the item with the specified key name:
thisdict = {
"brand": "Ford",
"model": "Mustang",
"year": 1964
}
thisdict.pop("model")
print(thisdict)

The popitem() method removes the last inserted item (in versions before 3.7, a random item is
removed instead):

thisdict = {
"brand": "Ford",
"model": "Mustang",
"year": 1964
}
thisdict.popitem()
print(thisdict)

The del keyword removes the item with the specified key name:

thisdict = {
"brand": "Ford",
"model": "Mustang",
"year": 1964
}
del thisdict["model"]
print(thisdict)

The clear() keyword empties the dictionary:

thisdict = {
"brand": "Ford",
"model": "Mustang",
"year": 1964
}
thisdict.clear()
print(thisdict)
The dict() Constructor
It is also possible to use the dict() constructor to make a dictionary:

3
thisdict = dict(brand="Ford", model="Mustang", year=1964)
# note that keywords are not string literals
# note the use of equals rather than colon for the assignment
print(thisdict)

The del keyword can also delete the dictionary completely:

thisdict = {
"brand": "Ford",
"model": "Mustang",
"year": 1964
}
del thisdict
print(thisdict) #this will cause an error because "thisdict" no longer exists.
IV. EXERCISES: Complete the given code and run it through python 2.7.14

Use the get method to print the value of the "model" key of the car dictionary.

car = {
OUTPUT:
"brand": "Ford",
"model": "Mustang",
"year": 1964
}
print (________________)

Change the "year" value from 1964 to 2018.

car = { OUTPUT:
"brand": "Ford",
"model": "Mustang",
"year": 1964
}
______________________

Add the key/value pair "color" : "red" to the car dictionary.


car = {
"brand": "Ford", OUTPUT:
"model": "Mustang",
"year": 1964
}
________________________

4
Use the pop method to remove "model" from the car dictionary.

car = {
"brand": "Ford", OUTPUT:
"model": "Mustang",
"year": 1964
}
________________

Use the clear method to empty the car dictionary.

car = {
OUTPUT:
"brand": "Ford",
"model": "Mustang",
"year": 1964
}

V. PROGRAMMING CHALLENGE
Given the dictionary and sample output, develop a python program. Write your code at
the back of this page.

birthdays = { 'Albert Einstein': '03/14/1879', 'Benjamin Franklin': '01/17/1706', 'Ada Lovelace':


'12/10/1815', 'Donald Trump': '06/14/1946', 'Rowan Atkinson': '01/6/1955'}
